    Airfix 54mm Collector Series Repaint

    Had these boxed up in storage for about 40 years so decided it was time to see if I could give them a new paint job

    I no longer had the original instruction sheets so was pleased to see that there were plenty of examples of finished models to use as a guide on the internet.  Here are a few images that I took for reference purposes.

    The first stage was to strip back and remove any loose paint , parts etc.

    I then gave everything a coat of black primer.

    I then painted the horses using citadel acrylics and sanded and dry brushed the bases.

    Next I started to work on George Washington and the Polish Lancer
